NEETChemistryThermodynamics (C)
What is the molar heat capacity (C m ) of a substance?
Options
- AThe heat capacity for one mole of the substance
- BThe quantity of heat needed to raise the temperature of one unit volume of the substance
- CThe heat capacity for one mole of water
- DThe quantity of heat needed to raise the temperature of one unit mass of the substance
Correct answer
A. The heat capacity for one mole of the substance
Step-by-step solution
Molar heat capacity (C m ) is the heat capacity for one mole of the substance and represents the quantity of heat needed to raise the temperature of one mole by one degree Celsius (or one kelvin).
